MD-DC NATS: Who We Are
|
|
MD-DC NATS is the Maryland/District of Columbia chapter of the
National Association
of Teachers of Singing, the largest association of teachers of
singing in the world (over 5,000 members), including choral and opera
directors, composers, private studio and school teachers, university and
college professors, researchers, journalists, and voice care
professionals. Part of the Mid-Atlantic Region of the national
organization, which also includes Virginia, North Carolina, and South
Carolina, MD-DC NATS member teachers encourage the highest standards of
singing through excellence in teaching and the promotion of vocal
education and research. Our goals include the development of singers with
both professional and avocational aspirations. We also encourage,
conduct and stimulate effective cooperation among voice teachers for our
mutual welfare and advancement and meet regularly for workshops and
student auditions and to enjoy the professional enrichment provided by our
fellow colleagues. Participation from schools and studios across the state
has continued to increase over the past several years, with almost 300
auditions scheduled at recent district-wide events. |
